Wonderful small group with lots of free time on our own and Lake Bled and Ljubljana were beautiful - This small group tour to Ljubljana and Lake Bled was perfection for us, just what we were looking for! The driver & guide, Renato, picked us up right on time at our hotel (Zagreb Westin Hotel was a pickup point so that made it super easy). The small group had 8 people and we all got along great, respected the meeting times. Renato got us there and back safely.
First stop was Ljubljana Old Town. Renato parked in an underground garage with free and clean restroom stop, very considerate. We made our way to Old Town and got to visit many famous sights: Triple Bridge, Dragon Bridge, Preseren Square, Central Market, to just name a few. Every bridge had clean and free restrooms, that was nice. Our funicular tickets were included so we made our way up to the castle for a good view and walk around. After the visit we were on our own to explore the farmers' market and old town. Renato pointed out several places for lunch and local desserts. He also made sure we knew where the meeting point was.
Our second stop was to Lake Bled. What a gorgeous area!! The tickets to visit Bled Castle were optional and we highly recommend it. Renato dropped us off, so we had our entire visit on our own. He also told us how to walk down to the lake front, that was super nice. The walk was so pleasant, definitely no need to get picked up. It was very easy.
Bled Castle is a medieval castle built high above the city overlooking Lake Bled. Million dollar view up here and the castle did not take too long to visit. We had plenty of time to stroll the lake shore and stop for some Bled Lake cream cake!! What a pleasant way to relax and get something cold to drink as well.
Highly recommend this tour with Petros Tours. Exceptional experience. To us, this is a "teaser" trip, we definitely want to come back to visit Slovenia in depth!

Great day trip - We had a great day with our guide Danko. We liked that this trip allowed a good amount of personal time both in Ljubljana and lake Bled. Trip was very well organised and it was a group of only 9 people.

A Fantastic Day Trip - Tour guide Ronaldo was very informative and we learned a lot of information about both Croatia and Slovenia. He gave good suggestions for shopping and eating. What a beautiful city Ljubljana is! We also liked the excursion to Lake Bled and Bled Castle. The cream cake was delicious. Beautiful day!

Relaxed and Interesting - Excellent safe driver, knowledgeable but a bit hard to hear commentary from the back seat. Good balance of free time and tour time and good advice (where to eat, drink, shops…)

Renato was excellent! Lake bled is a must see. Great tour - Renato was an excellent tour guide; he picked us up from hotel and had a lot of knowledge of Croatia and Slovenia and surrounding areas. He was funny and made the trip enjoyable. We saw the quaint town center of Slovenia and spent time at the castle; ate local food; and ice cream. Lake bled was superb and a must see view. The walk around the lake after was breathtaking.

Good day out at lake Bled. - Very good, although it rained cats and dogs that day. Good view of the island from the castle. Trying to escape the rain, i went into one of the cafes and discovered the must try Bled cream cake. Totally yummy.
